http://www.carapowers.com/2010/04/review-changeless-by-gail-carriger.html
Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Review: Changeless by Gail Carriger. I never formally reviewed Soulless. The first in Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate Series. I did, however, post the first two scenes. And call them absolutely fabulous. Soulless. Is a genre mash-up of comedy, paranormal romance, mystery, and steam-punk. It's a blast with fabulous and colorful characters. If you haven't read it, stop reading this post (it necessarily contains spoilers of Soulless. And go read Soulless. The title "Changeless"...

LEC Book Reviews: King of Thorns by Mark Lawrence
http://www.lecbookreviews.com/2012/09/mark-lawrence-dropped-onto-fantasy.html
King of Thorns by Mark Lawrence. Mark Lawrence dropped onto the fantasy scene with a splash in the summer of 2011 with his brutal debut, Prince of Thorns. The eponymous cruel brat, Jorg, returns - in form - with the second novel of Lawrence’s Broken Empire series, King of Thorns. Expands the world of the Broken Empire without sacrificing any of the lurid storytelling or sublime characterization. Were I a betting man, I would venture to say Mark Lawrence is not a huge fan of linear storytelling. Havin...

Being in this reviewer’s mind, the jewel in the crown. With The Broken Isles. Can be said to return to a familiar setting, but seen in a different light – V...

The Pack by Jason Starr. Is a werewolf thriller imported from US writer Jason Starr, better known for his crime fiction. I feel it will be difficult to say anything very conclusive about The Pack. Mostly because I realize about half way through that it really wasn’t my cup of tea. Now, I’ve not shied away from reading outside my comfort zone in the past, in fact I’ve often enjoyed exploring new literary venues, but still The Pack. Exogene by T.C. McCarthy. Is the sequel which had to fill those big shoes ...

The only salvation may be the brother whose freedom and life Gavin stole sixteen years ago. Picks mere instants after the conclusion of The Black Prism.
